Access is through Plaza de la Lealtad, a short walk from major galleries and cultural venues in the city center. The property includes a heated indoor pool, steam room, fitness area, and five restaurants offering different culinary directions.
Materials from the Royal Tapestry Factory were incorporated during construction, and the structure was among the first in Madrid to use reinforced concrete. This technical choice allowed more generous room layouts than other buildings of the same period.
